Player that everybody loves but you think is overrated

[chedinho]

Going back a bit, I never understood why the late Ray Wilkins got 84 England caps.
Apparently he was a decent bloke but I never saw him as more than an unspectacular and Ok player.

He’s one player I hated.

He went to Italy and came back completely immersed in the Italian style of football.

Great when he was getting dull draws with Utd. Not as much when you wanted to see England win.

King of the sideways passes.

Not sure how loved he is, but Martinez is hugely overrated.

I recall him being known as ‘Right Angle Ray’.

Don't think this qualifies but I still don't get the hype around Enzo Fernandez.

Perfectly happy to accept that I'm wrong because there are that many people saying how good he is but every time I've watched him at club or international level he's just looked like a serviceable top flight player. And I include his World Cup performances in that.

I know it's difficult to perform in this dysfunctional Chelsea team but people talk about him like he's the one shining light in it and I don't get why.

Enzo is fairly solid. He's just not worthy of the hype or, certainly, the transfer fee. He pales in comparison to Rodri, although most players do.

Agreed. The praise lumped on him is far more than he deserves. He’s supposed to be the heartbeat of his team, zipping the ball about. If he is a midfield controller, he’s crap at it.

Chelsea have won 7 matches since he arrived. Two of which were against Wimbledon and Luton at home.

Real nickname 'Butch' but why?

 

[Tecumseh]

Slab head

No one loves him and he’s not over rated. Even Man U fans think he’s rubbish.
